The Advantages of a Dock Lift

Dock lifts are more versatile than dock levelers, faster than manual loading and unloading, safer than ramps and inclines and less expensive than recessed truck wells. That’s why every building should have a Dock Lift.

Rugged Weatherproof Construction

All Dock Lifts are manufactured with structurally reinforced heavy steel plate platforms to minimize deflection. Wide base design provides increased rigidity to create the industry’s most stable dock lift. Our dock lifts feature corrosion resistant galvanized base and legs as standard, resulting in longer trouble-free service even in hostile environments.

A Model for Every Application

We offer seven standard dock lift models with capacities from 5,000 to 20,000 lbs., platform sizes up to 8′ x 12′ and a variety of installation configurations to accommodate any loading dock requirement. Models featuring an “M” designation are built for use with two wheel dollies, hand carts, and hand pallet trucks. “H” model designations can be used with powered devices like powered pallet trucks, counterbalanced stackers and fork lift trucks.

The Fast, Safe, Easy Way to Service Any Truck

With nearly 5′ of travel range, dock lifts can service any type of truck from vans and pickups to tractor trailers and container trucks. Loads on dock lifts are always kept level making transport safer and easier than traveling up or down inclines created by dock levelers or ramps.

T2 & 2000 Series Recessed Dock Lifts

These are by far the most popular size Disappearing Dock lifts sold. They are sized to handle pallet jacks, four-wheel carts and dolly trucks. They are also used for dock to ground access.

All of these units are designed for use with pallet jacks, four-wheeled carts and hand trucks. Their rugged tubular construction offers more rigidity with less weight than the solid bar leg alternatives. A wide assortment of accessories for these units is available.

MODEL 2400: This model was designed to fit into a typical dock leveler pit. The short platform length means the scissors legs are also shorter, therefore, travel is restricted to 40″. However, since dock levelers are only installed in raised docks, the 40″ of travel is more than sufficient.

MODELS 2500K & 2010K: For decades, these have been the most popular dock lifts in the country. Their 10″ pits are very easy to build and afford crush space between the bottom of the bevel toe guard and the bottom of the pit, for any debris that may fall into the pit.

T SERIES: Many dock designers are now specifying 8″ pits and this series of lifts is designed to fit them. The “T” series replaces our original “2000” series that was the industry standard for 25 years. It is not unusual for us to sell consumable parts such as wheels and cylinder packing kits for units that are 30 years old and still going strong. The new “T” series shares all of the robust engineering features of its workhorse predecessor and should serve equally well.
